provided initial support to four Massachusetts pilots - all AOPA

HECTOP
Folks,
I am posting this on behalf of my friend, a chief pilot of an airline
working for JMC ( http://www.jmc.nu ) peacekeeping force in Sudan.
They operate a gamut of russian aircraft and require US-made VHF radios,
antennas and intercoms for them. Since Sudan is on the US Dept. of State
list of...

NTSB by
EDR
NTSB reports, where the FAA were the investigators, are notorious for
their inaccuracies. The NTSB change the original facts quite often. The
FAA inspectors are just as frustrated as you are when they point out
the incorrect facts and the NTSB refuses to correct them.
This is probably why NTSB...

Complete Idiots? by
John Galban
While searching the web for something else, I ran across "The Idiot's
Guide to Flying and Gliding" One of the teasers on the cover read,
"Exciting stories of daredevil pilots and their most amazing
exploits". This really is an idiot's guide.
Another interesting cover note was "No matter what it...

Funny noise update by
Peter Duniho
For those of you who were following along previously...
My funny noise was there again last Saturday when I was flying. So I took
the plane to my mechanic today to have them take a closer look.
Interestingly, it turned out that there were at least two possible
explanations, as there were two...

TAS measurement by
Bravo Delta
Can somebody please explain to me the technique to measure your plane's true
airspeed by flying in 3 or 4 different directions for a while and recording
GPS ground speed ? Do you just fly the same amount of time each leg and
average the groundspeed readings ?

SAN to OSH route? by
[email protected]
I'm planning on flying a 172 RG from San Diego to OSH for the big show at the end of July.
Any thoughts from others that have made the trip?
I'm IFR rated, but with the summer time T-Storms the trip is probably the same IFR or VFR.

KDR-510 question (VDL Mode 2 receiver?) by
Filip Zawadiak
Hi,
just one question. It's not clear from what I found - is KDR-510 just
a VDL Mode 2 RECEIVER?! For more than $5000 that's not much of
functionality.
Anyone has service/installation manual? I'd like to have a look.
Just digging through ATN and VDL2,3,4 specifications :-) If it's just

Engines and Reliability by
Dylan Smith
Things that make you go 'hmm'.
The accepted wisdom is that aviation engines are tough, because they can
be run at full rated power for hours on end, and auto engines are
fragile, and must not be thrashed or they won't last very long. It was
even mentioned in a thread in the last couple of weeks -...

STC'd Landing Light? by
Jay Honeck
This was spotted at the National Cherokee Fly-In last weekend:
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/CPA/Small%20Non-standard%20landing%20light%20on%20Cherokee!%206-04.jpg
There's a matching one on the other strut, too.
How's it possible that this light is legal?

PIREP: Sporty's Air-Scan V by

When the Montgomery-Ward 8-band radio I've had since I was a kid finally
gave up the ghost last month, we were left without Unicom playing in our
hotel lobby.
Since we are an aviation-theme, fly-in hotel, this was unacceptable -- we
quite often listen for fly-in guests, so we can have the courtesy...

Two airspace classes for one airspace? (KOQU) by
John R
Quonset State (RI) airport (OQU) has class D airspace and is just
south of Providence (PVD), which has class C airspace.
The northern arc of the Class D airspace isn't charted with a
dashed blue line, so the best I can do is assume that this
boundary is coexistent with the Class C surface area. ...
